Please Help With Openembedded

[mez_Vipul]

Hello all,

I compiled a software for the Z6000 (running OZ 3.5.2) using the openembedded toolkit which generated about >1300 ipks. The problem with these ipks is that the control files in all of them have 'architecture : armv5te' and I can install them only when it is changed to 'architecture : arm'.

And I am horrified at the thought of unpacking each of those files, changing this line and packaging them again !

could anybody having experience with openembedded help here ? I checked the conf files but couldn't find where this change needs to be made. I'm using bitbake to compile the package.

thanks !

You could make a change to the arch setting in /etc/ipkg.conf or /etc/ipkg/* on your Zaurus. This would certainly be easier than editing each ipk file.

How did you come to produce files with an arch of armv5te in the first place?

Thanks lardman,

I had actually ended up writing a script to do this and got this to work. But this is a much better solution though ! ..

now I am stuck with trying to compile the package again after I modified the source code .. I am getting an error in do_install. Any idea why this might be happening ?

Post the error message and the contents of the log file.

Use machine=collie for packages.
